How to Convert Gigabits Per Second to Megabits Per Second
To convert gigabits per second to megabits per second, multiply by 1,000. Both units measure network bandwidth in bits per second—the difference is simply the scale. Use our Mbps to Gbps calculator.
Gbps: A gigabit per second is 1,000 megabits per second. Used for fiber internet and enterprise networking. Common uses include Fiber internet, enterprise networks, data center connections, 10GbE. Related: Gbps to Zbps converter.
Mbps: A megabit per second is 1,000,000 bits per second. The standard unit for home internet speeds. Typically used for Home internet speeds, WiFi connections, streaming video quality. Check out our YiB/s to Mbps.
1 Gbps = 1,000 Mbps — which means there are 1,000megabits per second in every gigabit per second.
Gbps to Mbps Conversion Formula
// Convert Gbps to Mbps
Mbps = Gbps × 1,000
// Reverse: Convert Mbps to Gbps
Gbps = Mbps × 0.001
Gbps to Mbps Conversion Examples
10 Gbps = 10,000 Mbps
50 Gbps = 50,000 Mbps
100 Gbps = 100,000 Mbps
500 Gbps = 500,000 Mbps
1,000 Gbps = 1,000,000 Mbps
What Is Gigabit Per Second (Gbps)?
A gigabit per second is 1,000 megabits per second. Used for fiber internet and enterprise networking. Related: Zebibytes Per Second in Zettabytes Per Second.
The gigabit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. See also: converting Gibibits to Bits.
Common uses: Fiber internet, enterprise networks, data center connections, 10GbE You might also need: Gbps to MiB/s conversion rate.
1 Gbps = 1 × 10⁹ bits per second.
The gigabit per second can be abbreviated as Gbps; for example, 1 gigabit per second can be written as 1 Gbps.
What Is Megabit Per Second (Mbps)?
A megabit per second is 1,000,000 bits per second. The standard unit for home internet speeds. Use our calculate MiB/s to Mbps.
The megabit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Try the how many Zebibits Per Second in a ZB/s.
